Headlight electrical issues

Okay, electrical engineering people pipe in on this.

I've changed all the bulbs in my headlight assembly to either super-white or LED array, and when I use my turn signals, the blinkers flash super fast.

Is this due to my turn bulbs and running lights having lower resistance than standard filament incandescent bulbs? Or could I have done something to upset the timer for the blinkers?

Check my profile under "exterior" for bulb info. Most of the interior and exterior bulbs have been replaced, wondering if this has affected the electrical system.

Thanks in advance.

Sounds like one or more of your turn signal lights blew.
Park your car, signal to the left, get out and check that all your corressponding bulbs are working. Then do the same for your right side markers.

problem solved. needed LED load equalizers to simulate the ohm resistance of stock bulbs.
